How is the ATP produced in glycolysis like earning a return on an investment ?

Biology
1 answer:
telo118 [61]3 years ago
5 0

Glycolysis is the first step of cellular respiration - the process comprised of series of reactions in which energy is extracted from glucose molecules. The process of glycolysis is almost same in all living organisms.

If we quickly overview the process of glycolysis, we see that it is a process of earning ATPs as a return on ATP investment, why?

  • 2 ATP molecules are invested during the first or preparatory phase pf glycolysis.
  • 2 ATP molecules are formed for each glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate molecule. Therefore, total four ATP molecules are produced.
  • Other than ATP, 1 NADH + H+ is also produced for each molecule of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.

Therefore,total amount of 2 NADH and  4ATP molecules are produced.

But since, there was an investment of two ATPs during the preparatory phase of glycolysis. Therefore, a total of  4-2=2 ATPs is formed/ So it is like an earning on an investment.

Hope it help!

The <em>S. salivarius</em> is chosen because it the predominant gram positive bacteria that colonizes the oral cavity shortly after birth.

<h3>What is PCR?</h3>

Polymerase chain reaction(PCR) test is a type of test that is used to identify a particular deoxyribonucleic acid of an organism.

<em>Streptococcus salivarius</em> cannot be cultured especially when the test sample is contaminated with other body normal flora.

The steps of PCR testing include the following:

  • Denaturation by heat

  • Annealing Primer to Target Sequence

  • Extension

  • End of the First PCR Cycle

On a crime scene, the specimen that can be used for PCR testing are blood and body secretions.

PCR testing can be done on a scene with blood spills.

Why are there no carriers with dominant pedigrees?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
You can't have a carrier with a dominant pedigree because other wise than individual or organism would be afflicted by the gene and render them incapable of being a carrier. A carrier is an individual/organism that has a normal phenotype (meaning it is not afflicted by said gene) but is carrying the gene that could cause disease or whatever the affect may be. In this case the gene would have to be homozygous recessive to be expressed. Hopefully this helps!
